Howard University School of Law Needs Visiting Professors!

HOWARD UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF LAW invites applications for two visiting faculty positions during the 2024-2025 academic year. Howard University, a culturally diverse, comprehensive, research intensive and historically Black private university, provides an educational experience of exceptional quality at the undergraduate, graduate, and professional levels to students of high academic standing and potential.

Position 1 – We are hiring a visiting law professor for a full-year podium visit. This professor will teach one section of our first-year contracts course, which is a full year course. In addition to the contracts course, we are open to a wide range of other offerings in both semesters with a particular interest in business courses and upper level writing seminars.

Position 2 – We are hiring a visiting law professor for a Fall 2024 podium visit. This professor will teach one section of our fall first-year civil procedure course. In addition to the civil procedure course, we are open to a wide range of other offerings in the fall semester with a particular interest in business courses and upper level writing seminars.

For both positions, we invite applications from persons with all levels of experience (practitioners, junior faculty, experienced faculty, etc.). Candidates must have a J.D. from an accredited law school, distinguished academic or professional credentials, and either great pedagogical promise or a record of excellence in teaching.

Applicants should be prepared to spend significant contact hours with students outside of the classroom. Interested persons should send a cover letter, curriculum vitae, teaching evaluations (if available), references, and subject area preferences to Professor Darin Johnson, Chair of the Initial Appointments Subcommittee, at [email protected], and to Ms. Kimberly Pennamon, Director of Faculty Services, at [email protected]. Howard University School of Law is committed to a diverse faculty, staff, and student body. Howard University is an equal opportunity employer and does not discriminate on any grounds prohibited by federal or DC law. Applications will be considered on a rolling basis. Priority consideration will be given to those applications received by Wednesday, February 7, 2024.
